As the weather gets nicer, plants begin to grow including weeds and you should know how to fertilize your lawn for summer.  Simply going to your local hardware store and buying fertilizer to apply to your lawn twice a year isn’t enough. You need to have a lawn care plan, consider the following points…

  • The main reason for having a good lawn care plan is to make sure N-P-K-  Nitrogen Phosphorus and Potassium, is distributed at the proper rate.  Not enough or too much is no good.
  • Hardware stores charge retail price for fertilizer, where as landscape contractors work to get a wholesale price.  Also alot of the hardware stores do not carry, commercial grade products.
  • Also remember if herbicides are being applied it requires a license by the state. If you would like and estimate on a lawncare plan, in Antioch, Lake Villa, or Lindenhurst, Illinois. Please click here.
